In 2010 MacBooks were joked about as expensive Facebook machines. Web browsers. I legit think Linux desktop can grow within a shrinking PC market (mobile induced shrinkage). Also I was still surprised the first time a friend told me they wrote an essay for a class on their phone. People are really proficient on their phones these days

I've written short fiction on my phone, but school essays are absolutely off the table

I feel the same. Like I care very much for how my paragraphs look in size relative to each other for reasons of flow, style, and readability. Writing that on a phone is problems for mapping to printed paper/PDF

Other people I've met though do not care at all as long as they get an assignment in. Work I don't think I've ever seen anyone write a report on their phone at least
